2007 Toyota 2000 SR Concept by SURE Design

(from SURE Design Press Release) REVIEW
The TOYOTA 2000 SR concept is a tribute to the mythic TOYOTA 2000 GT, considered the first ’Japanese Supercar’ as it revolutionized the way that Japanese car manufacturers were viewed in regards to their skill. In its production, Toyota proved to be one of the Japanese most ambitious companies.

TOYOTA has settled worldwide as being the top selling company, despite not having a strong and visible history behind. We consider that it was time to show a Concept that benefits the heritage of the TOYOTA 2000GT, the first Japanese model that could rival European and American SportsCars.

With the impressive TOYOTA 2000 GT in mind, the new SR silhouette is defined by its expansive bonnet, which houses the engines.

The SR is propelled by a hybrid engine: A 3.5-liter V6 turbo front mid-engine position has been adopted, that boots up to 610 horsepower. It is designed to run on bio fuels with rear wheel transmission on circuits and race tracks, with the characteristics and
behaviour that of a high-end super sports car. The second front-mounted electric motor would be capable of independently driving the front wheels which would move the SR around cities or countryside in pollution free mode, at moderate speeds and absolute silence.

PS. This car is a styling exercise, and not meant to be in production.
